Tools and Hardware Reviews of MAGLITE S6D016 Heavy-Duty 6-D Cell Flashlight, Black
Customer Review: Adjusting beam
Summary: 5 Stars
Got this flashlight (Mag Instrument Heavy Duty) for my husband. We looked at so many different stores only to find cheap plastic ones that really didn't have the lighting function he wanted. Found this one on Amazon and he loves it. It's heavy weight, has two beams, small one and a larger one for when you want more light. Battery use is great. He keeps it in the kitchen for quick finding. Sure glad I came to Amazon. They normally have what I'm looking for.Customer Review: Really Bright, But Too Big & Heavy
Summary: 4 Stars
This is really a bright flashlight. A classic Maglite product. Made from aircraft aluminum. It is really rugged that it became an issue with the LAPD for using them as a melee weapon. Wife does not want to touch it, it is heavy like a sledgehammer.
Pros:
-It is blinding bright.
-Adjustable beam spread by twisting the head, which is also serves as the on and off switch.
-Well constructed in every detail.
-Water resistant
-It even includes a spare lamp inside the tail cap (under the spring).
-Reasonable price
Cons:
-Uses 4 "D" batteries that makes it so heavy and big. It is a struggle to carry it unless you need it also as a weapon.
-Maglites are somewhat overrated in my opinion.
Customer Review: Great service!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was shipped promptly and arrived within the order guidelines. It was for a friend to bring to his brother who is working a security detail overseas. Customer Review: Best Blackout illumination ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
Experience coping with blackouts led me to experiment with lots of battery lights -- fluorescent, LED, and conventional incandescent bulbs. This 6 D-cell light provided the largest area AND brightest illumination.
Here's how I used it: I set it vertically so its beam bounced off white ceilings. I also used some handy household objects as a base holder to keep it from tipping. In the kitchen it provided enough light (while aimed at the white ceiling) to prepare a simple meal using the gas stove -- and for washing dishes afterward.
Later, in a 20' x 30' living room, it provided enough light bounced off the ceiling so that everyone could sit, talk, eat dinner, and see everyone else in the room. That was comforting & reassuring!
Finally, in the bathroom & bedroom, this very bright light, aimed at the white ceiling, provided enough illumination for showering and brushing teeth as well as allowing two persons to move around a bedroom without bumping, stumbling, or stubbing toes.
Customer Review: Handier than the D cell models unless you have large hands
Summary: 5 Stars
Unless you want to spend hundreds on a flashlight (see Streamlight-primarily used by firemen) you cannot find a better unit than a Maglite. I have AAA, AA, C and D cell Maglte flashlights. Both my wife and I feel that the C cell size is easier to hold than the D cell model. I really prefer the 3 C cell model-I find the length just right, though the 2 cell model fits in cars better.
Made in the USA. And can be easily upgraded to a LED 'bulb'.
A little bonus: If you live in hurricane territory, when the stores run out of D cell batteries, there are always C cell batteries on the shelves, meaning you can get batteries when others can't.
